Impact of COVID-19 on South Korea Printed Electronics Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the South Korea printed electronics market growth negatively in the initial months of 2020. There was disruption in supply chains and shut down of manufacturing facilities, which led to a decline in production and sales of printed electronics products. Many printed electronics companies had to temporarily suspend their operations due to lockdowns imposed by the government. This led to postponement of investments and projects in printed electronics technology. As the pandemic spreads across different countries, demand from end use industries like consumer electronics, healthcare, industrial, etc. declined sharply.

However, as restrictions are gradually being lifted and economic activities are restarting, the market is regaining momentum. Increased demand for medical devices, wearables, and touchless interfaces is boosting opportunities in printed electronics. Many companies are focusing on developing technologies and applications that can aid in fighting COVID-19, such as portable diagnostic kits, sensors for ventilation machines etc. Investment in RD is expected to remain high to enable mass production of such applications. Adoption of printed flexible sensors, displays and others is likely to increase for creating innovative products catering to new consumer needs emerging due to this pandemic. The long term outlook remains positive backed by growing application areas and technology advancements.
